Chapter 224: Disappearing Life

Looking at the figure pushing the door open, Xia Xiu's originally excited expression slowly calmed down, and he even felt a chill in his blood.

Why is this happening?

The figure in front of him was wearing a black jacket, black casual pants, and a black hat on his head. Even without the need for light, he could tell that the other person was definitely wearing a black mask on his face.

The fully armed black is like a king's armor in this dark night, feeling free and at ease like a fish in water.

Who is this guy?

Is it male or female?

Lan Zixuan’s accomplice?

To harm him or to save him?

He had no idea what was going on, and the unexpected change that was beyond his plan made Xia Xiu panic.

It was obvious that the person coming could not be the elder sister. If the elder sister came, she would definitely step on the colorful auspicious clouds, break into the door with one foot, and then enter in a heroic way with a domineering roar and "Don't move."

"This is not your home. It's illegal to be good at private residences."

Xia Xiu said weakly as he lay on the ground.

I hope the other party is not Lan Zixuan's accomplice, but what other possibility is there for him to come here in the middle of the night?

He smiled bitterly and waited for the answer from the mysterious man in black, like a helpless lamb waiting for the butcher's knife to fall.

He is lying on the ground now and can't do anything. Isn't he at the mercy of others? Come to him and stab him in the neck without anyone noticing. Then he can completely deflect all the blame.

But the man in black did not reply. He turned his head to look at Xia Xiu who was lying on the ground, then stepped over.

Xia Xiu frowned.

Not an enemy?

Seeing this, he became bolder.

"Who are you? How did you get in? And why do you know the scene here?"

Xia Xiu asked several questions in succession. As long as the other party made a sound, he could roughly tell whether it was someone he was familiar with or knew.

The man in black still did not answer, as if he had ignored Xia Xiu. He walked straight to the man who had fainted on the sofa, then took out a dagger that was glowing coldly, and slashed towards Lan Zixuan's throat at a speed that took Xia Xiu time to react.

Xia Xiu's pupils constricted, and blood suddenly spurted into the air, but the man in black seemed to have been prepared and avoided the bloody red blood, without even a trace of it getting on his clothes.

Lan Zixuan, who woke up instantly because of the pain, opened his eyes wide in disbelief. The large amount of hormones secreted in his body made him involuntarily stretch out his hands to cover his neck, but no matter how hard he tried, the red liquid still flowed out from between his fingers, sprinkling on the clean carpet in spots.

He looked carefully into the eyes of the figure in front of him. Those pure eyes without any emotion made him dazed for a moment, and then he lost his life in confusion.

The man in black walked towards Xia Xiu decisively with a knife in his hand. Xia Xiu didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt like the other person was smiling.

He closed his lips and stopped making unnecessary movements and saying stupid words that were beyond his control.

The other person was squatting in front of Xia Xiu, but because of the hat and the light, he couldn't see the other person's eyes clearly, and his face was naturally covered by the mask.

Xia Xiu held his breath slightly. He didn't know what the other party wanted to do to him? Like Lan Zixuan, he also killed himself with one knife?

He laughed at himself in his heart. He never thought that he would fall to the point where his life was dominated by others. But he was at the mercy of others. Xia Xiu didn't even have the strength to lift his arms.

Xia Xiu lowered his head, ready to accept his fate. In fact, he was not afraid of death at all, and he did not say any words of begging for mercy to lower his own value.

It's useless to say anything in front of someone who wants to kill you. They are already prepared to kill, so how could they be shaken by a few words from you?

But things did not develop as Xia Xiu had imagined. The man in black pounced on him, pecked him lightly on the face through the mask, and finally put the murderous dagger in his hand.

After doing all this, the man in black chose to leave in style.

Xia Xiu, who was lying on the ground, lowered his head and said nothing, playing with the dagger that she had forced into his hand.

From the pleasant scent on the other person, Xia Xiu could tell that it was a girl, but he had never smelled this kind of scent before. He couldn't help but think of the mysterious person who had followed him when he was following others.

Is it her? Why is she so haunted?

But what about that kiss on the cheek?

That mysterious man obviously had bad intentions towards him...

And this person kissed him...

As he was thinking about it, Xia Xiu's face suddenly turned dark, and then he threw the dagger in his hand away.

The man in black was wearing gloves the whole time he came in. He was wearing gloves when he took the dagger, when he killed people, and when the dagger was put into his hand.

This means that there is nothing on the dagger except his fingerprints.

In the dimly lit room, there was a girl who had fainted on the operating table, a corpse covered in blood, and Xia Xiu was the only one who was still awake and had the potential to move. Most importantly, there was only his fingerprint on the dagger used to commit the crime...

This thing can't be washed away even if you jump into the Yellow River.

Xia Xiu gave a bitter smile. Was he being tricked?

After planning for a long time, Xia Xiu did not expect this to be the result.

But he was not overly worried, or even didn't care. He just stared blankly at Lan Zixuan's body which was gradually getting colder.

The person who had just threatened to make him pay is now dead or alive. Xia Xiu didn't really feel much in his heart. He didn't want the situation to develop to this point.

According to his plan, when the elder sister arrives and the evidence is handed over, Lan Zixuan will return to the cell and he can start a peaceful life.

But Lan Zixuan is dead...

So, can Xiaoyu accept it?

Xia Xiu shook his head, not knowing clearly. Girls' psychology was always so strange and unpredictable, making it difficult to see clearly. If he knew clearly, he would not have lived such a miserable and destitute life in his previous life.

He lay weakly on the floor, with the ceiling above him dim but with a hint of white. He stretched out his hands, trembling slightly.

To him, what is the meaning of life?

He had just witnessed a murder scene, saw the blood flowing, and a bright and vibrant life disappeared before his eyes. This scene would be terrifying for any normal person and would leave a huge shadow.

But why...

Xia Xiu smiled and then lowered his arms.

He didn't feel the slightest bit touched.

Chapter 225 Dawn

When Shang Shanjing rushed to the scene, she was panicking. She had been feeling terrible since she received the message from that brat in the evening. Who knew what kind of trouble that brat had caused her?

But she had no doubt about the message Xia Xiu sent. She made a prompt and courageous decision and called the only few colleagues who were still on duty in the police station to drive over in a police car, leaving only one person to guard the somewhat empty police station.

A new employee in the car grumbled a little in dissatisfaction, and Sister Jing immediately pulled them out without giving any reason. An acquaintance next to them said that it seemed that a high school student adopted by Sister Jing had sent some message, saying that there was some important clue.

The newcomer yawned. He hadn't had a good rest in the past few days. Or rather, no one had a good rest in the past few days.

"If you can believe what a young boy says, then what's the use of us policemen?"

The sound was neither loud nor soft, just simple complaints and grumblings.

The old master next to him reached out and hit the newcomer hard.

"What are you talking about? All those years in the police academy were wasted? Let me ask you, what are the duties of a police officer?"

"Obey orders, follow instructions, perform duties in accordance with the law, and resolutely complete the task!"

The old policeman rolled his eyes at the newcomer.

"It's good to know."

After being taught a lesson, the newcomer lowered his head in dismay, but deep down he still felt a little dissatisfied.

What can a 15 or 16-year-old do? At his age, he is still innocent and only knows how to study in school? To dispatch a small number of police forces for the matter of Sister Jing and her adopted son, isn't this pure abuse of power for personal gain?

But due to Sister Jing's intimidation, he certainly didn't dare to say it in front of everyone.

Who is Shang Shanjing? Everyone in the bureau knows that she is a person who is vigorous and resolute, and is more ruthless than men in fighting. Her casual personality makes people stay away from her. Even if the other person is good-looking, no one in the bureau dares to pursue her.

The newly arrived young policeman naturally did not dare to provoke Sister Jing's power.

The elder sister didn't care much about the rumors in the car. Even if they really abused their power for personal gain, so what? Anyway, her official rank was higher than theirs. If she couldn't command them, what was the point of working so hard?

She looked at her phone with some worry. The message Xia Xiu sent her was not very long.

"Next to Lan Zixuan's house, the Eye-Digger, the window, the water tank"

It was a very simple and clear sentence, without too much nonsense or embellishments. She did not dare to call or send a message, for fear that Xia Xiu was facing an important moment and would be held back by her.

She could only pray silently that nothing would happen.

After Shang Shanjing and his group forced the door open, the scene inside shocked the newcomer who was muttering in his heart. It was extremely messy inside. A girl was lying on an operating table with gauze wrapped around her face. It was unknown whether she was dead or alive. Another boy fell to the ground and fainted. A scalpel was still stuck in his thigh, and there was still some blood. There was a corpse lying on the sofa. The smell of blood was so strong that he could smell it at the door. The scene was very terrifying for a while.

This is the first time he faces such a crime scene...

My calves couldn't help but tremble, and I was confused for a moment, not knowing what to do.

"Someone bandage the boy's wound first, call 120 immediately, and the rest of you, cordon off the scene, and don't touch anything inside!"

Sister Jing's calm and peaceful voice instantly gave the newcomer a backbone, and he volunteered to bandage the wound of the child on the ground. He had learned first aid and bandaging in the police academy, so he could deal with such a simple wound.

The aorta was not injured in the thigh, and the bleeding was not too much, so it would not be life-threatening. He also observed the girl lying on the bed. Her eyes had been simply bandaged, so there was no risk of infection for the time being, but she still needed to go to the hospital for secondary treatment.

The man on the sofa was in a miserable state. He was beyond saving. Except for his body which was still warm and not yet completely cold, all other signs of life had disappeared.

Judging from the situation at the scene, the boy and girl were imprisoned with handcuffs and other items. They were obviously victims. The gauze on the girl's face was most likely caused by the eye-gouging demon. I don't know if her eyes can be saved.

The whistling sound of the ambulance caused a huge commotion in the community and the injured were quickly carried away. Shang Shanjing stayed where she was. She had to fulfill her duties as a police officer.

"Sister Jing, this should be the murder weapon that killed the deceased."

An old policeman holding a dagger and wearing gloves carefully put the evidence into a plastic bag.

"But..." the old policeman frowned, "the dagger was next to the boy who fainted on the ground..."

The old policeman naturally knew Xia Xiu, who often showed up at the police station. From the analysis of the scene, the situation was very unclear. Even if it was self-defense, there would still be a lot of trouble with excessive defense.

"Give it to the technical department for testing."

Shang Shanjing said calmly, and then searched the crime scene carefully.

Of course she knew the dead person, it was Lan Zixuan who had a criminal record and was released not long ago. Combining the situation at the scene with her analysis, she thought that the eye-gouging demon mentioned in Xia Xiu's text message must be him. The large number of medical devices at the scene were very good evidence.

She looked at Lan Zixuan's distorted and ashen face. His hands and feet were stiff, and his swollen face clearly showed that he had taken a serious dose of hallucinogens, causing him to lose his ability to move.

A picture appeared in her mind and she smiled bitterly, this brat.

She sent the policeman aside to search the window for what she wanted to find, while she casually placed the cup on the table in an inconspicuous corner. Then, she went to the kitchen under the pretext of investigation and turned the water valve, and finally came out.

All this was seen by a new policeman who was studying diligently nearby. The older sister glared at him, and the murderous look in her eyes made the newcomer shiver all over.

He is just a young policeman who has never seen the world. We dare not say anything or ask anything≥﹏≤.

The old policeman successfully found a miniature camera at the window. After exporting the data inside, he could clearly get the original picture of the whole incident, and the figure of the man in black also appeared inside.

Then the matter is very clear. Lan Zixuan had evil intentions and was about to attack a boy and a girl, but was killed by a man in black who suddenly broke in. The killed Lan Zixuan was the murderer of the recent Eye-Digger incidents.

The elder sister clapped her hands and finalized the entire case. The case that needed to be closed was closed, after all, the evidence was conclusive, and the wanted person was investigated, after all, the man in black had killed someone. Xia Xiu was completely removed from the whole process and packaged into a perfect victim image.

Then, the reports on the second day symbolized the dawn of an era and gave an explanation to the anxious citizens.

(End of Volume 2)

postscript

The second volume is almost over. Although it is Xiaoyu’s home story, there doesn’t seem to be much sweetness (laughs). But there will be some in a few chapters, probably ≥﹏≤.

To be honest, I feel like I didn't perform well in this volume. It doesn't have the same feeling as when I wrote the first volume. Maybe it's because the school has started. The updates are slow and the performance data is not good. I have an urge to show off. In addition, the early signing at 6:30 every morning after school started is very annoying. Please forgive me if I didn't perform well.

All in all, the second volume is over! The beginning of the next volume should be Xia Xiu and Xiao Yu's affection. After all, Xiao Yu is temporarily blind now, and the only person he can rely on is Xia Xiu. It would be unreasonable not to give them some sweets (?ò?ó?).

I would like to express my gratitude to the readers who have persisted to this point. Please take care of me in the future ≥﹏≤
